Movie Review: Luca

 

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.

Are you guys are familiar with Disney's The Little Mermaid, you know, the movie about a mermaid princess named Ariel who first seeing a human prince that she's falling in love with? Yeah, that movie was an instant classic and gave the birth of Disney Renaissance, i never seen this one as a kid for "Gear towards girls" excuse, but thankfully, i managed to watch it in 2019(?) and i enjoyed it. Ok, so we got a mermaid who's falling in love with the prince after curiously looking at human's items, but what about Pixar did a same thing, but in a complete opposite with um... Mer-boys??

"Luca" is a 2021 Pixar's coming-of-age fantasy film written/directed by Enrico Casarosa, produced by Andrea Warren, co-written story by Jesse Andrews (also for screenplay) Simon Stephenson and co-screenplayed by Mike Jones.

After successful short film "La Luna", Enrico decided to having a movie for not just a coming-of-age involving boys came from the see, but also reflecting his past when he's been on Italy, since he was born in his home country that he's passion of animation. Plus, its not just reflecting his past, but also his childhood favorite film with Hayao Miyazaki, which gave an inspiration between of two to making this movie as a directorial debut. And real talk, this is the first time i ever watch a movie on Disney+, which its about time that my father has finally subscribing it to give us a watch of either watching original contents, the shows from before and even movies, thanks dad.

So, with all that said, will this movie will gave us the chance to see beautiful human world, or is this film wants to hunt us down for its dinner?

Well, lets find out.

The Story

For the movie's plot, i was expecting to be either different or similar to The Little Mermaid? Well, it kinda is, but with different elements.

The movie takes in... Somewhere between 50's and 60's, where we first witnessing a mysterious sea creature pops out of surface for scavenging human items. Later on, we introduce our titular boy named Luca, who works as a care-taker of goatfishes, despite being curious for something above the surface, but his parents told him to stay away from the surface, saying that the humans are fishing and even try to hunting a sea creature (just us in real life, right...? Right???). One day, he meets a mysterious sea creature named Alberta, who claimed that going out of surface wasn't so bad and he's automatically turning into a human form (aside of being left alone from his lost parents), hesitant at first, but Luca gave it a try to leaving the sea, which he was surprised and interested to coming out of water. But then, while hanging out together, Luca got his attention from the poster with Vespa, which he would like to have it while they're going to a town called Portorosso and meet a human girl named Giulia who got humiliated by a bully and multi-times winner of Triathlon event called "Portorosso Cup" named Ercole, so its up to Luca and Alberto to helping Giulia for their training of "Portorosso Cup" to getting Vespa, but to hide their secret identity, while Luca's parents are looking after our main kid.

Now, it maybe obvious to say that the story is similar to The Little Mermaid involving a sea creature who has a morbid curiosity of coming out to visiting in human's world, or maybe any other films other than a sea creatures like hairy monster, alien or others. But surprisingly, the movie has an interesting plot element, instead of curiously falling in love with human prince, this one is more about being curious to see the human world, but also freedom, which the latter is the main message in this film, because even though Luca's warned our main boy from the danger, but he thought maybe it wasn't so bad what Alberto has told and Luca started to enjoy of traveling in human world, mainly wandering around in Portorosso, which despite the plot feels like its been done before, but its the execution with the message what this film is about for Luca. And since this is a Disney and Pixar film, despite we have some intense and drama moments, there's always gotta add some humors on this film and... Its good for say the least, like i did chuckle with some moments, but other times some jokes are mean, like when Luca's parents are trying to finding Luca by messing with human kids with water pouring and water balloons throwing at them, like that's just coming off as disturbing the peace.

However, i have a criticism in this movie, mainly a plot hole where Alberto motivates Luca by don't be like one his old pal Bruno by simply saying "Silenzio, Bruno!", i mean, i get its to be brave without getting too much concern, but what's the point when he briefly talking about Bruno, and is Bruno is gonna be shown in a flashback? Nope, its just a tease by mentioning him.

While the plot hole issue and story is kinda unoriginal, but its the execution of the writing and the message are done well for what this movie is about.

The Animation

Since this is a Pixar film, you think the animation is outstanding? Of course it is, but it has a fascinating fact about the film.

For the background, it looks amazingly beautiful with hills to show us a beautiful view sunny days and in the bottom of the ocean (though not as colorful as Finding Nemo/Dory, but i digress) and the village of Portorosso (which the name is somewhat reference from Miyazaki's film "Porko Rosso", but il get to Miyazaki part later on) looks nice and somewhat colorful, which is almost like a painting village comes to life, it looks peaceful and beautiful too.

But the best part of its production, its the character designs and the effects.

According to Casarosa, he said the character designs are based on the art style of Hayao Miyazaki based on his childhood memory of seeing the films that he remembered and i gotta say, even though it may or may not be like Miyazaki style, but at least they look pretty good, which their animation movement are either acting cartoony for comedic part or going smoothly when we're in quite or drama scene. Despite may not looks similar for the style, but il give a credit that at least they tried.

And finally, there's the effects, it looks also pretty good with the water effects of raining and the ocean is not only impressive, but also feels realistic that they did a good job like they've done before. And lets forget when Luca and Alberto's transformation, it looks pretty impressive too for their transformation automatically whenever they're out of surface that their skin change to human form, including their fish scales changing to human skin, the details of its transformation is wonderful that they did a good job as always.

What else do i have to say for its animation, even though the design may or may not as perfectly similar as the style from Studio Ghibli, but at least they tried and of course, they did an outstanding job for its animation, the designs and the effects.

The Characters

Despite the writing is plain original, but with a good execution, the characters could also be good, most of.

Lets start with our titular boy Luca (voiced by Jacob Trambley), who's a curious and somewhat timid sea creature boy that he's curious to coming out of surface to Portorosso. Like i said before for comparison, he's like a gender bender version of Ariel, but thanks to the execution of his morbid curiosity and likes to be free, he made us invest our main hero that he likes to exploring the human world, especially to getting a Vespa from triathlon. Even though he may look cute, but he's easily relatable for how we're curious to see something new and starting to get used to. He's a well-written protagonist and Jacob did a pretty good job of his young role.

Next up is Alberto (voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer, aka Freddy Freeman from Shazam), he's an outsider from the sea who likes to scavenging human's items and later becoming Luca's friend for their adventure to Portorosso. I find him rather good, even though he's meant to be a comedic role, but he's more like a plot driven character to Luca to showing a whole new world (No pun attended), even if he has limits since he hasn't see his parents for a long time (though like Bruno situation, i wish it could've show a flashback for what happened to Alberto, but again, i digress). Despite some of his flaws, but at least he's a fun one and Jack Dylan did a fun role, even though this is the second time i watched the film with him since Shazam.

Then we have Giulia (voiced by a young Emma Berman), a charming and adventurous human girl who tries to challenging Portorosso Cup but failed, but got a help from our main heroes. She's also a likable character, its easy to feel bad for her that no matter how many times she tried to competing in triathlon or trying to make money by sealing foods from her big father. And she's also somewhat of bookworm back in her school, which she's also being a plot driven to Luca to building up his interest. Even though i never heard of Emma Berman (since she didn't have a Wikipedia page, yet), but i think she's such a likeable sidekick to helping out Luca, even if she might be foreshadowing Alberto from Luca's curiosity.

And finally we have Ercole (voiced by Saverio Raimondo), the main antagonist in Portorosso who likes to bullying anybody with his henchmen Ciccio and Guido (both voiced by Peter Sohn and Lorenzo Crisci), despite being over-aged to participating Portorosso Cup for being a multi-times winner with his expensive Vespa. Surprisingly, after previous Pixar films that they barely focusing on the main villains (except for Screenslaver/Evelyn Deavor from The Incredibles 2), now they finally got it and once again, surprisingly a well-written villain that you love to hate. Even though its pretty cliché for having a villain being just a typical bully, but its the execution from the delivery or how he got away with to be a multi-times cup champion, despite he sounds like a teen than a kid (in other words, he cheats his age). Here's an interesting fact, you know when the film has released internationally with different languages dub? (Like im from Canada that it has an option of listening the film in either English or French) Well, when it was brought over to Italy with Italian dub, Saverio actually done his Italian dubbing. In other words, he does the original English version and the Italian version. Well done, Raimondo.

As for the rest of the characters, there here for the purpose of the plot or not much else.

There's Daniela (voiced by Maya Rudolph) who's Luca's overprotective mother from the "danger" outside of the sea, Lorenzo (voiced by Jim Gaffigan), who's a well-meaning father, but other times overly distracted (even though Daniela and Lorenzo are meant to be the comedic role to finding Luca, but didn't work for being mean at the human kids), Massimo (voiced by Marco Barricelli) who's Giulia's big and bulky father who i though he's gonna a second villain based on his serious business of fishing, but surprisingly have a good and soft heart (Phew!), even if we didn't know how lost his right arm (another plot hole that i asked how and why, but probably didn't tell us), Grandma Paguro (voiced by Sandy Martin) who's Luca's granny for giving us a plot convenient about breaking the rules, including of course, going out of surface ain't that bad at all, and there's Ugo (surprisingly voiced by Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Borat), who's Luca's uncle that he lives in the depths of the ocean.

Even though some might have some clichés, but its their delivery and their writing to make of them a likable role.

And now for my final opinion of this film.

Overall, Luca is a pretty good film from Pixar.

Despite the movie has problems with plot holes and unoriginal plot, but its the execution of the writing of being free from what you came from, some memorable characters. Even though its one of more recent film that has a premier access that i watched it late, but im very satisfied to jump on the bandwagon on Disney+ to seeing this pretty good film.

For my recommendation, i'd say its definitely a film you can go watch it, especially on Disney+, you won't be disappointed after seeing it.

For my rating, il giving it an 8.5/10. I would've giving it 9, but i dropped in half based on my problems, but hey, its not as bad as im curious to see, much like Luca himself.

So this ends of my movie review after my long hiatus, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on https://ko-fi.com/blackevil.

Thanks for reading, and im Anthony, signing out.

Movie Review: Space Jam: A New Legacy

 

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my Movie Review.

From 5 years ago, i reviewed Space Jam, the 1996 live action/animated involving Michael Jordan was asked by the Looney Tunes gang to save the world by playing basketball from the evil owner of "Moron Mountain" who sent the monster players called "MonStars". Pretty crazy and questionable idea at first, but hey, it made a lot of money and it became childhood favorite film, heck, i remember seeing this movie when i was like 12. Sure, they made another one called "Looney Tunes back in action", but it was nothing but a flop that this, along with Osmosis Jones (which it also bombed, very badly), it killed off Warner Bros. Feature Animation, right before they lightened up to making their second animation studio in 2013 with The Lego Movie that it happened to be a major success to bring back to their good'ol days of their full-length animated films, including one film that we all wishes to having a Space Jam sequel.

"Space Jam: A new legacy" is a 2021 live-action/animated sport comedy film that was directed by Malcolm D. Lee, produced by Ryan Coogler, Maverick Carter, Duncan Henderson and LeBron James (Yup, not only he acts in the movie, but also being credited as a producer), story written/screen-played by Juel Taylor, Tony Rettenmaier, Keenan CooglerTerence Nance, then co-screen-played by Jesse Gordon and Celeste Ballard.

Before we have a film with LeBron James, we gotta go all the way back in the mid-late 90's. After the success of Space Jam, WB were opened to having a sequel with the return of Michael Jordan. in the original plan, Jordan and his Looney Tunes gang are facing against another evil alien named "Berserk-O!" for another basketball game, but Michael won't participating the project, which it felt like they've been lied about him joining in. They wanted to make another film with the title of "Jam" in it, like "Spy Jam" with Jackie Chan (which he refused to joining in), "Race Jam" with 4 times NASCAR Cup series champ Jeff Gordon (which it once again, rejected), which resulted to remake the project to "Looney Tunes: back in action" with Joe Dante as a director, but as i said before, it was nothing but a flop that it ruined the company for either poorly timed to released the film or a backstage politic between Dante and an animator Eric Goldberg (Or maybe its both).

Thankfully with the WB rebuild their animation studio, they were opened to make a sequel of Space Jam with LeBron James, which it will be a good casting choice, since James loved Space Jam so much back then and he was more than happy to joining it with Looney Tunes gang.

So, with all that said, will this movie will giving a us a perfect slamdunk, or is gonna be too much over the top and giving us a foul move than the first one?

Well, lets find out.

The Story

Since this is a new legacy (No pun attended), we expected to be the next over the top plot with our modern NBA star? Well, it does, but not in a good way.

The plot begins where young LeBron James was anticipated to play the game, despite got distracted from playing Gameboy (Mainly Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle) that he ended losing his concentration of his basketball skills, but he was learned by his coach for how to be himself as a professional basketball player, and he does, where he starting to getting better and successful in his NBA career with Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, back to Cleveland and to currently in LA Lakers, which he sold well for his dominating career to help the teams and his skills to became a 4th times champ. Fast forward to modern days where he has his kids to hang out and playing basketball, however, his son Dom is focusing more on video games than playing basketball, mainly to become a gaming developer, leaving LeBron felt concerns that he follows his different footsteps than a basketball path. After LeBron tried to play his son's game project with his trick that ended up crashing the character model (meaning the glitch that ended up being deleted), they received a message from Warner Bros to presenting "Warner 3000" featuring LeBron James himself, but James wasn't very pleased for the idea that comes off as exploitation, leaving his Dom felt unhappy and walked away from his father like a brat who can't "no" for an answer, resulting them chasing each other to the server station, where they got sucked in the digital world called "Serververse" (Really, dude?), where they meet an A.I. named Al-G Rhythm, who put Dom in hostage that if LeBron wants his son back, he's gotta play basketball with Looney Tunes gang (though he met Bugs first, then brought over his pals in different universe in WB's series), so its up to LeBron James and his Looney Tunes pals to challenging against Al-G's team "Goon Squad" to save the day.

Its rather nice to have a story taken place in digital world with crossover, but that's pretty much it for the setting. You wanna know why? Its the same thing as the original, only in modern time with multiverse of WB's properties that using it as a big deal with Looney Tunes, though il tell you about the presentation later on. Not to mention, they put some cliche plot elements in the film, it has a father and son relationship, where LeBron tries to build him up for his basketball career than a video game developer, and the whole "Be yourself" part for motivating as a basketball player than getting too much of playing video game. Its as if they tried to make something new while being similar to the first one, but ended up with a very poor execution result. Since this is a film with Looney Tunes, you think the humor of this film will be funny like in the good'ol days, right? Yeah, nope... Must of the jokes that i did chukcle at the time, but a lot of them are more of either pop-culture references, a rap jokes, some immature jokes or even self-aware, i know they tried, but most of which are just comes off as low-brow or even cringe.

It may have a good setting, but the writing feels so unoriginal and not to mention, it feels like a completely different film than Space Jam, which it'll leads us to the next segment for my later complaint.

The Presentation

I think it safe to say that the budget is more focus on presentation and animation than the writing.

Starting with the location, the filming location is not bad, with the use of Sheats–Goldstein Residence that was owned by James Goldstein, along with a tennis court changed into a basketball court for the shooting. And its pretty obvious when our NBA star jumped into the digital world, its all done with green screen, which im assuming they did a same element where LeBron James played basketball game with people wearing their green screen gears. (Well, correct me if im wrong in the comments.)

As for the effects, it was done by Lucasfilm's effect studio called Industrial Light & Magic, its the same company who already did the first Space Jam and even Disney's Who framed Roger Rabbit. With the welcoming return of Light and Magic, it surprised to say that their effects are impressive with the combination of 2D and 3D effects, even if that some of the use of neon and others could be all over the place.

As for the animation, they're also pretty good, in fact, the animation was done by a veteran animator who's been on Walt Disney Animation Studio named Tony Bancroft, witht he styles to feel like in the good'ol days with our familiar cast of Looney Tunes, but sometimes it could be exaggerating at the times with some not-so good joke. But i will give a credit that when they put LeBron James in 2D animation, he looks not bad, even if its something what would've been if Michael Jordan turned into cartoon in 2D Looney Tunes style, im just saying. But when our Looney Tunes characters jumped into 3D, they look ok for say the least, even if some design could be a bit loose.

However, while the presentation looks good, but the biggest criticism of this movie, they went into a whole new level to having a crossover film, its not just an NBA star and Looney Tunes, but the ENTIRE properties from Warner Bros like DC comics, Harry Potter, The Mask, King Kong (since its a public domain, unlike Godzilla from Toho), The Flintstones, Casablanca, Game of Thrones, The Matrix and so much more. Not to mention, they added a controversial film in cameo, mainly The Clockward Orange with Alex The Large that causes a lot of snowflakes that WB just got away with.

(Scenario starts)

WB's executive: *on the phone call* Look im sorry, sir, we know we tried our best to appeal the movie for general audience that we're ok with like brutal gun fights and fist fights in The Matrix, a toilet humor, a violence joke, a rap jokes and dystopia crime with sexual misconduct cameos, but we're not allowed to including Pepe le pew for being a French creepy stalker to a cute cat girl! Think of the children!!

(Scenario ends)

While the effects and the animations are well done, but why they think it will be a good idea of having a crossover with WB's IPs, like what am i watching, a sequel of Space Jam or a sequel of Ready Player One?

The Characters

Aside from the writing problem, you think the characters will be fun as before, along with live actors? Well, it feels like a double-edged blades.

Lets starts with LeBron James himself. Though im not a huge fan of NBA, but im familiar with his name, even though i've never watch any NBA matches with him in either Cleveland, Miami or even his current LA Lakers. Anyway, i find him to be not bad. Sure he may not as perfect actor as a basketball star, but hey, at least he tried to not only understand how to stay relevant as a basketball player, but also trying to save his son. Though not the first time to be in movies, most of them that he's playing in cameos (like any special celebs, athletes or others), but he did took a shot as a main role.

Then there his "son" Dominic "Dom" James (played by a young actor Cedric Joe), though what i heard its LeBron's real son, but more of fictional version of his son Bryce James, which i guess LeBron doesn't to adding his real life family to be exploited, but i digress. He;s a kid who likes to making video games like adapting a basketball game, but even though we like to see him change his heart for playing basketball, but he just come off as brat who wants to be in digital footsteps than a sports. I know he's a fictional son, but i find him to be forgettable.

Of course, Dom isn't the only fictional family member of LeBron James, again, they don't want to be exploited in real life. There's Kamiyah James (played by Sonequa Martin-Green), who's meant to be Savannah, Darius James (played by Ceyair J. Wright) who's a fictional version of Bronny James and Xosha James (played by young Harper Leigh Alexander), who's a fictional daughter version of Zhuri)

Aside from fictional James family, there's Malik (played by Khris Davis) who's LeBron's childhood best pal and a couple of actors in the movie as themselves like Ernie Johnson Jr. and Lil Rel Howery.

And we have the main antagonist in the movie, Al-G Rhythm (played by Don Cheadle), an evil A.I. who wants bring LeBron James to secretly becoming a star at WB not before got rejected that he takes Dom to manipulating him to beat LeBron for his will of digital power. I find him to be an ok villain, he's just an ordinary man being an A.I. in the digital world, sometimes he acts like a nice person, but other times he could be sinister with his distorted voice. Even though Don did a not bad role, but i find him to be... Eh.

As for his team that he build called "Goon Squad" (*sigh* subtle...), they have a cool designs, unlike the MonStars, they're pretty much there to challenging Toon Squad.

There's The Brow (voiced by LA Lakers power player Anthony Davis), who's the male harpy with AD's nickname that was based on, Chronos (voiced by Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard) a powerful golden robot who has time manipulation with his nickname "Dame Time" (also based on Damian's nickname), Wet-Fire (voiced by Golden State Warriors shooter Klay Thompson), an elemental with a combination between... Well, fire and water (though loosely based on "Splash Brothers" for the nickname, because of... You know, fire.), Arachnneka (voiced by WNBA LA Sparks power forward player Nneka Ogwumike), a humanoid half-spider with powerful web that its based on Nneka's nickname, and there's White Mamba (voiced by WNBA Phoenix Mercury Pointer/Shooter Diana Taurasi), who's a Naga (aka half-human/half-snake) that once again, nicknamed based on Diana herself.

So what about our Looney Tunes pals? Well, its a welcome return, though with the exception of Bugs and Lola, they're pretty much the same as we know, il give them little note later.

Lets starts with the star in the movie, Bugs Bunny himself (voiced by Jeff Bergman), as we know, he's a wise, loving carrot trickster rabbit who always like to messing anyone on his way as we all know in Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies toons. In this movie, Bugs was kinda depressed when his best pals are gone in his Tune World, but when he heard about Al-G Rythm, it will be a wake-up call to not only facing against Al-G, but also bring his buds back. Though its nice to see Bugs again from my childhood, but when it comes to Bergman's voice of wabbit, his voice is so-and-so, it seems his voice has gotten aged that maybe they could've give it to Joe Alaskey or maybe Eric Bauza. Just saying.

And we have a welcoming return from the first one, Lola Bunny (voiced by Zendaya, sadly), who's Bugs's love interest as we all know, even if her personality could've grown more unlike "The Loony Tunes show". In this movie, her personality is surprisingly improved, its not just change from a typical beauty player to a tomboy player (which is something what they wanted in the original concept from the first film), but also gave more appearance to show her set of skills and helpful, which im very appreciated for her upgrade. However, the positivity just ended right away with yet another complaint that i have. The first problem is the her design. Gone from a sexy design of curvy appearance that we all know from the first film, instead they made her nearly slim and flat, making her looks almost like a female clone version of Bugs, which it really hurts the charm, but i will give a credit on her "new" look, at least its better than her appearance of "The Looney Tunes Show". The second and last problem of her is her voice, from before, she was voiced by Kath Soucie, she was the most recognizable voice actress from the 90's to millennium, especially Lola isn't the only role in Looney Tunes series, she also did the voice of Fifi le Fume in "Tiny Tunes Adventure". But when the sequel was planned, Kath was opened to reprising Lola that we're hoping for, but her role was taken away to focus more on modern actress Zendaya. Don't give me wrong, Zendaya did a good work of her role, but its just that it would've been a red flag alert to bring back Kath Soucie what she should've been, not the other way around. But then again, at least Zendaya's voice is better than "The Looney Tunes show". Sorry if im going to be an angry fanboy, but im sure some of you will agree with me in the comment section, but again, i digress.

As for our Looney buddies, they're not much else to say, they're the same as we all know. (Here's a long list if you're not being familiar with)

Daffy Duck (voiced by Eric Bauza), who's ego looney duck and Bugs's rival, Porky Pig (also voiced by Eric Bauza) who's awkward stuttering pig who doesn't for trouble, Sylvester the pussy cat (also voiced by Jeff Bergman), who's a hungry cat who always fail for his action, Tweety bird (voiced by Bob Bergen) who's a cute trickster little bird who constantly noticing a pussy cat, Elmer Fudd (also voiced by Eric Bauza), who's a hunter for hunting wabbit and other times being clueless, Yosemite Sam (also voiced by Jeff Berman) who's a hotheaded gunslinger aginst Bugs, Marvin the Martian (also voiced by Jeff Berman), an alien from Mars for not just targetting Bugs, but also going after various planets to claiming his in the name of Mars or even destroying planets, Tasmanian Devil (voiced by Fred Tatasciore and Jim Cummings from sound archives) who's a hungry wrecking beast in pure chaos, Foghorn Leghorn (also voiced by Eric Bauza) a politician rooster who easily gets very salty if something didn't going on his way, Granny or Emma Webster (voiced by Candi Milo), who's sweet and protective old lady for Tweety, with other times gets energized, despite her old age, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, they're famous for the constant silly situation with RR always avoiding from his speedo, while Coyote kept failing over and over, Speedy Gonzales (surprisingly voiced by Gabriel Iglesias), a Mexican mouse with super speed of "Andele Andele!", Gossamer, who's a big red hairy monster who's going after Bugs from master's order and Penelope Pussycat, a cute black cat who's sadly on her own to get away from Pepe le Pew who's unfortunately being cut in the movie for "Think of the children" excuse (And yes, my scenario i came up isn't a joke, its sadly true).

Not to mention, they even brought back the Nerdlucks, but thankfully they cannot turning into MonStars without the magical skills. Aw well.

The characters are quite fun see our Looney friends back, but most of them (including new ones) could be either not bad or just plain weak.

And now for my final opinion of this film.

Overall, Space Jam: A New Legacy is a welcome return to Jam, but it just comes off as disappointment with recycled plot from the first one with adding two plot clichés, some characters are average from good to lame and the presentation are quite good, but other times could be either "ok..?" or video game-like quality (more like an Xbox One or PS4 quality).

Its pretty hard to recommend for anybody around. If you're a huge fan of Looney Tunes, NBA or maybe both, this one is for you. If you're a long time fans like me with a not a good result, i don't think its for you, either that or maybe we could look back whether we changed our mind or not. Otherwise, we can easily stick to the original Space Jam with Michael Jordan (Sure, he may not as a professional actor, but at least he tried unlike Shaq for appearing a lot of crappy movies).

For my rating, im probably gonna give this one a 5/10. *sigh* i really wish if Space Jam could make something new for the plot than being a copycat, im just either sad or disappointed, despite i was kind cheered and chuckled. Aw well, its best for giving it a 5.

So this ends of my movie review after my long hiatus, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on https://ko-fi.com/blackevil.
